The Candy Board (for the kids… and everyone else)
If there was ever a holiday made for a sugar moment, this is it. Start with a mix of colors, shapes, and textures, then pile it on generously.
Think:
Peeps (every color you can find), SweetTarts, Cadbury Mini Eggs, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, Robin Eggs, Reese’s peanut butter eggs, pastel M&M’s, marshmallow eggs, sour belts, and yogurt-covered pretzels for a little contrast.
Build it by grouping candies in loose clusters—don’t go too neat. Let it feel abundant and a little chaotic (in a good way). Add small bowls for the tiny pieces, scatter a few wrapped chocolates for shine, and finish with a handful of fresh berries if you want to cut the sweetness just slightly.
It should feel like an Easter basket that grew up.
The Savory Board (with a Brie Bunny centerpiece)
For something more balanced, go savory—with one standout detail: a bunny made out of brie.
To create it, use a wheel of brie for the face and cut smaller pieces for ears. Arrange on your board, then build around it.
Add:
Thinly sliced prosciutto or salami, crackers and sliced baguette, cornichons, olives, roasted almonds, fresh snap peas, radishes, carrots (very on theme), and a touch of fruit like grapes or sliced apples.
For the bunny, you can keep it simple or add personality-peppercorns or olives for eyes, a small herb sprig for a nose. It doesn’t need to be perfect to be charming.
The result is a board that feels seasonal without trying too hard-fresh, a little whimsical, and very snackable.
However you build it, Easter boards are about ease. A little color, a little creativity, and just enough detail to make it feel special. The rest takes care of itself.
